Remove it.

While at it add a missing \n at the end of the message.

It should have Fixes tag because it is a quite an issue (get_device()
breaks reference counting with all problems we may expect).

Agreed and I usually do, but here, I've lost track when this driver has gone out of staging.

Based on:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/log/drivers/iio/accel/sca3000.c
The issue was already there on 2016/10/23, but when I try to go one step further:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/drivers/staging/iio/accel/sca3000.c?id=2ccf61442ff142d2dde7c47471c2798a4d78b0ad
^^^^         ^^^^^^^
works but if I try to see the log for that:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/log/drivers/staging/iio/accel/sca3000.c
^^^         ^^^^^^^
is empty.

Most of the time, when I do it like that it works just fine, but not on this file.

Any other way to navigate in history of moved file would be appreciated.

This patch is purely speculative.
I've looked a bit arround and see no point for this get_device() but other
eyes are welcomed :)
